Because of Him

This Easter, like many others, I will be thinking of all the loved ones I have lost and loved.  I often think of these people as I am going about my day wondering if I am living my life to the fullest.  
I wonder if I am taking full advantage of all that I have been given.  Most days I can say, "YES!" and other days I realize that I am taking a lot for granted.  It is quite an experience to ponder your life consistently and make small commitments to work harder and grow.  I have enjoyed that process the most in this life.
I am not afraid to try new things.  I am not afraid to admit that I need to change.  I am not afraid of death.  All because of Him.

As I sat in the temple on Friday night, I had a comforting feeling that all I am trying to do well now is acceptable to God.  I am not focusing on huge things but rather working on the small things like prayer and scripture study, it has made me more hopeful and therefore happier. Our family is finally four again sin...
